Organized and Responsible Citizen Power works
– By Dave Martins
It is sometimes the case with the international events surrounding us that an occurrence in a distant country can have relevance for us, in completely separate matters, in our homeland. This week, we had a classic, indeed startling, example in the furor raging in the USA over the nomination of a judge for that country’s Supreme Court when accusations of sexual dalliance by the candidate, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, were raised by Dr. Christine Ford, which she says occurred when she and Kavanaugh, were both teenagers in school.
With the judge stoutly denying the accusation, the matter came before the Senate and, as various Senators spoke on the matter, a vexing issue that arose from various contentious points, was the call from Dr. Ford, and others, to have an FBI background check done on the issue. This suggestion was dismissed by the Senate body and also ruled out as “this is not what the FBI does” by President Donald Trump. Continue reading →

The Confirmation of Trumpism
The accusations against Brett Kavanaugh—and his angry, defiant response—have made him a fitting champion for the party of Trump.
Adam Serwer | The Atlantic
On a Friday evening in 1991, Clarence Thomas’ nomination was in trouble. Anita Hill’s sober, matter-of-fact demeanor during her testimony that Thomas had sexually harassed her during their time at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission had been inconsistent with the conservative campaign to paint her as an emotionally unstable, and perhaps romantically spurned, liar. Now it was Thomas’s turn to respond.
In Strange Justice, their chronicle of the battle over Thomas’ nomination, Jill Abramson and Jane Mayer wrote that Thomas paced back and forth in the office of his benefactor, Senator John Danforth. He told Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah that he didn’t believe he was going to make it. “Yes, you are,” Hatch told Thomas, “but it’s going to be close.” Continue reading →

The truth is that Trump has a point about globalisation
By Larry Elliott – Wed 26 Sep 2018 – The Guardian

Once every three years the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank hold their annual meetings out of town. Instead of schlepping over to Washington, the gathering of finance ministers and central bank governors is hosted by a member state. Ever since the 2000 meeting in Prague was besieged by anti-globalisation rioters, the away fixtures have tended to be held in places that are hard to get to or where the regime tends to take a dim view of protest: Singapore, Turkey, Peru.

Saying we believe before using the moral sieve
By Yvonne Sam
Seeing that sexual abuse lies in the eyes of the beholder, only evidence that meets civil standards of proof can fairly decide what took place.
Recently while dining out, Senator Ted Cruz and his wife were unexpectedly confronted by a group of anti-racism activists, who
aggressively questioned the senator on whether or not he believed the three-decade-old sexual abuse allegations against , Judge Brett Kavanaugh, After being asked by one of the protesters, whether the senator believed survivors, the group then commenced singing in increasingly obstreperous tones, forcing the senator and his wife to hastily exit the restaurant.
